Copy Editing
Don't want your readers to be distracted by misplaced commas and spelling mistakes? Inconsistencies and errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation pull a reader out of the story and distract them from your message. Great copyediting makes sure that doesn’t happen! When copyediting, I focus on fixing errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage, ensuring that your writing is clear and consistent.
Proofreading
The final stage in the publishing process! Proofreading is the last opportunity to catch any remaining errors before your content heads out into the big, bad world.

Ghostwriting
Need to publish blog posts regularly but don’t have the time or skills to do it yourself? I can help you publish engaging, SEO-optimized content on a weekly or ad-hoc basis.
